    I agree. Tighten up the aperture, and you'll be able to see the cap in better focus. The composition of the the first photograph is better placed than the second, though I'm not sure what I'm looking at in the lower right corner between the saber and jacket. It's a bit fuzzy from the focus, and my eyes are seeing corrugated cardboard.

    Other than that, the lighting is excellent--more professional than amateur.

    I love the shots, especially the second. I like the wide-open aperature blurring all but the sword. Anyone with military ties will be able to identify the objects, but the out-of-focus elements prevent them from distracting the viewer as well as add depth. The only thing I can think would improve the shot is to add some leading lines that draw the viewers eyes into the pic.
    But overall, I say - Hey man, nice shot.
